History WesternAnimation / Insektors

* EvilIsPetty: Overlapping with SillyReasonForAWar; the entire Yuk/Voyce (or Krud/Verigreen) conflict is because their Queen hates being cold and is determined to stay warm, even if this means rampantly deforesting the flower forests to satiate that petty desire.

* HappilyAdopted: Fulgor/Flynn, although he knows he's adopted, is never shown as anything other than loving to his

Although the two sides are at war, all the weapons are non-lethal. The Joyces/Verigreens fire globs of colour to make their enemies laugh and dance, while the Yuk/Krud weapons fire darker globs that the American dub identifies as "coal juice". Either way, combatants are taken out of action until restored at their base.

An recurring theme is that the Yuk/Krud way of life is ultimately futile, as they get their fuel from chopping down flowers (they are the size of trees relative to the cast), which will eventually run out due to the voracious way that the Yuks/Kruds insist on burning through them.

* EvilIsDeathlyCold: Played with; Bakrakra/Catheter III is always freezing cold, to the point her personal chambers are depicted with flickering flames like the interior of a furnace, and her demand to be kept warm and toasty fuels the Yuk/Krud war against the Joyces/Verigreens.

* GreenAesop: Good guys spend their time cultivating flowers, playing music (which aside from General Lukanus/Wasabi's terrible percussion the bad guys hate) and enjoying life. Bad guys spend their time logging forests and being depressed. Due to the overall plot and believability of how the Yuks/Kruds adopted this stance however it avoids being {{Anvilicious}}.
* HappilyAdopted: Fulgor/Flynn.
* HumongousMecha: The Yuk/Kruds Koa the Frog/Sterioscopic Hydrolic Amphibious Personal Relocation Unit (a.k.a. "Frogbucket").

* {{Mordor}}: The Yuk/Krub hive.

** [[spoiler: Yuks and Joyces are the same people; Joyces are descended from Yuks who touched an alien artefact and chose to renounce the lifeless, dreary existence of perpetually digging for coal to instead devote themselves to life amongst nature, filling their existence with music and color.]]
** [[spoiler: Fulgore/Flynn isn't a Joyce but a Yuk who was reared by Joyces after being left amongst them as a baby in Gallopus' compartment.]]

* FiveBadBand

* FiveManBand: The roles change a bit story by story.

* GreekChorus: The Guards/Methane Brothers

* StupidEvil[=/=]TooDumbToLive: In the above-mentioned StrangeBedfellows episode, Lord Krabo sabotages the asteroid-busting energy-blaster so it is instead locked onto the Flower City, in hopes of ending the war in favor of the Yuks once and for all. Completely ignoring that if the asteroid isn't blown up, they'll be dead.

* StrangeBedfellows: One dual-parter episode involved the two sides teaming up to destroy an asteroid that would cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* AccentAdaptation: Mostly for regions of America/The UK. More noticeable and varied in the UK dub. They made Wasabi Japanese.

** BiggerBad -- Queen Bakrakra/Catheter herself.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The British dub of the show is so radically different to the original French version and the US dub (which is far more faithful to the original French) that the context of entire scenes and even episodes is altered.

''Insektors'' is a French CGI animated TV series (actually [[UrExample the first TV series to be fully CGI]]) about a conflict between two different tribes of anthropomorphic insects. The tribes are the Joyces/Verigreens, who are brightly coloured and airborne, and the Yuks/Kruds, who are fixated on keeping their furnaces burning to survive. It was made by a small french studio called Fantome, and it recieved the 1994 of the "Children and Young People" Emmy award.

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: The Yuk/Krub.

There are two different English-language dubs; an American one and a British one. The American dub is far more faithful to the original scripts, but has been criticized for treating its [[ViewersAreMorons audience like morons]] unable to understand subtle dialogue. The UK dub, on the other hand, changed some names, dialogue, and characterization to make a more comedic tone. A good example of the stylistic difference is that in the French and American version the frog mechs are called "Koa the Frog" or "Koas", while in the British dub that is translated to "Stereoscopic Hydrolic Amphibious Personnel Relocation Units" or for short, "Frogbuckets".

* DuelingDubs

** TokenGoodTeammate -- Prince Acylius/Maximillian
** BiggerBad -- Queen Bakrakra/Catheter herself

An recurring theme is that the Yuk/Krud way of life is ultimately futile, as they get their fuel from chopping down flowers (they are the size of trees relative to the cast) which will eventually run out.

* MundaneUtility: The Joyce/Verigreen hero's weapon is a guitar that shoots colour, meaning that when payed it provides its own fireworks. Most of the big Yuk/Krud weapons where in fact designed as logging equipment.

* AmazonBrigade: The Dragonflys who act as colour bombers (and apparently the entire Joyce/Verigreen army).

* EvilPrince: Inverted in Acylius/Maximillian.

* AlwaysChaoticEvi: The Yuk/Krub.
